From “tip” to “grip” there are too many changes we made to list them all… let’s just say it’s “working”

YesDoes he play 18x19 because of Agassi?
actually "NO"... more so because of Petr and Tom
actually "NO"... more so because of Petr and Tom
Also my favorite pattern by a mile ...I am always drawn to 18/19
Defintely better than the 18x20.Also my favorite pattern by a mile ...
That pros ask for this drilling shows the manufacturers should making more retail frames in 18/19.

SAME grip mould dimensions I've been doing for him for years... as well as SAME Wilson 'Pro' leather grip - wrapped for a 2-hander. Still doing ALU 1.25 mains and ALU 1.20 crosses... yea, special 18x19 pattern we've been developing since the French Open time - as well as a new layup construction in his same mouldIs Petr his father? Has he also changed the shape and type of grip and now he no longer uses leather?
Thanks
Could I ask any detail on what makes his grip specific?SAME grip mould dimensions I've been doing for him for years... as well as SAME Wilson 'Pro' leather grip - wrapped for a 2-hander.

Awesome. Could you tell us more about the layup ? Is it softer, firmer, different flex points, new material ? So many questionsSAME grip mould dimensions I've been doing for him for years... as well as SAME Wilson 'Pro' leather grip - wrapped for a 2-hander.

So he's still using the H22? or it's a Blade? because it looks more like a Blade than H22 !SAME grip mould dimensions I've been doing for him for years... as well as SAME Wilson 'Pro' leather grip - wrapped for a 2-hander.

I would like to ask for my slice of humble pie - it is in fact a blade.Look at the beam bro, it's impossible! thinner than the H22!

Saw a close-up of his grommet at the AO and looks like a blade, not H22.
maybe it's not a blade ( or it is ), but it's 100% not an H22! look at the beam from other angles it's alot thinner than H22!Blade is d shaped on the sides of the hoop.
This looks box beam to me:

even in his 2021 photos the grommets were pointy, so maybe he was always using a blade, never an H22 !What you see there is the bumper guard. Here is a pic that clearly shows the blade grommet with its pointy taper:

He bought his racquet on Wilson.com and customized with his favourite colour !Sorry if this has already been answered. But he's always played with a Blade Paint job, why is he currently playing with it blacked out for?
Ha, funny! There must be something going on with Wilson and sponsorships. Korda playing with blackout, Brooksby playing with H22 painted like a Dunlop & Tommy Paul switching to Yonex.He bought his racquet on Wilson.com and customized with his favourite colour !
PS: he used the code, and got 10% off!

Looks too thin to be the new shift... Plus, wouldn't he have the new pj, for marketing purposes ?Maybe he's going to the shift? He's Shifting.
I have no idea
He can play with everything but not the shift for his game, but maybe hecan use the paintjob!Maybe he's going to the shift? He's Shifting.

What happens after 3 hrs doodI have a few of his personal:
1. Mold K Blade
2. Layup - Custom - stiffer than N Blade and softer than K Blade - also different flex than K Blade from what I can tell
3. 18x19 string pattern
It’s string sensitive but plays really well with his setup. Alu Power 1.25 Mains at 50 and 1.20 Alu Power Crosses at 47.
Would not have tried this string setup on my own, but is damn near perfect, for 3 hours, lol!!
tension loss i think !What happens after 3 hrs dood
That'd be no big deal even mannarino 24 lbs plays greattension loss i think !
lol wth you talkin about man, it depends on the player, it's not because mannarino plays 24 lbs that korda can play with that tension!That'd be no big deal even mannarino 24 lbs plays great
Major nothing, string dies quickly. That snap back is gone snd balls start to fly. Wil try gut/poly next.What happens after 3 hrs dood
I meant for me, I'll adjust to any tension as long as it plays well. Tension loss least of my concerns, could even helplol wth you talkin about man, it depends on the player, it's not because mannarino plays 24 lbs that korda can play with that tension!
How does the racket plays? Power, soft, flexy? I have been offered a couple of his frames… still thinking if any benefits of this custom layup and string pattern…I have a few of his personal:
1. Mold K Blade
2. Layup - Custom - stiffer than N Blade and softer than K Blade - also different flex than K Blade from what I can tell
3. 18x19 string pattern
